BOUNTIFUL PROMISE mOM WESTERN GANAOA

Average Increase of Acreage in Wheat Over 22 Per Cent

Wheat Acreage Province. Increase. Saskatchewan 25 per cent Alberta 32Vs per cent Manitoba 15 per cent Average for prairies 22 V per cent Saskatchewan. The growth of the crop during the past week was very satisfactory. Rain fell in many places during the early

part of the week, followed by warmer weather, which has been most beneficial to the grain. Breaking and summer-fallowing were well under way, and conditions generally were most promising. The following reports have been received by the department from the various centers: Denholm A little rain needed in the northern part to start late grain; remainder of district plenty of moisture. Davidson Ideal growing weather; a few farmers harrowing grain to conserve moisture by breaking crust formed since last rain. North Battle ford Prince AlbertGood growing weather; crop? looking well. Slight damage near North Battleford from cutworms; recent rains beneficial. Kindersley Crops looking fine and prospects good; plenty of moisture, with prospects of more rain.

Ev.ery slough in this country is full. Prince Albert Crops in fair condition, though cutworms and light frosts have done damage in some sections. Have had moderate quantity of rain. Owing to prompt marketing of the harvest of 1914, the farmers were en

abled to devote more time than usual to cultivation in the autumn, under conditions which were decidedly favorable, and that, combined with the opportunities for soil preparation presented by an early spring this year, has resulted in the seeding of a wheat area estimated at twenty-five per cent greater than last year. Areas sown to oats and flax may be less than last year, because of the concentration upon the cereal in greater demand for export. Wheat seeding was completed eight days earlier than the average, under almost ideal conditions. Alberta. "Prospects excellent. Abundant moisture throughout the province, following rain. Area thirty to thirty-five per cent greater. Crop generally two weeks earlier." Attention is drawn to the fact that the land has not been in such fine condition to work foT years; neither has there been as much moisture as there was 'last autumn. This was protected during the winter by a little more than

the average snowfall, which remained on the land, not being removed by the warm chinook winds, as is usually the case. There never has been a more optimistic feeling than exists today, judging by the information received from various parts of the province. We leal justified in saying that the crop, never went in under more favorable toJrcumstances; weather splendid and

land particularly well worked. While it is true that the acreage will tie greatly increased. It is pleasing to learn that, despite the high price of feed, the receipts of milk and cream at the dairies continue to keep up, and that the output of the creameries has increased in quantity. One'Of the most encouraging things in last year's work was the increase of practically thirty per cent in the output of cream and butter south of Calgary. Manitoba. Owing to the exceptionally early harvest last year and favorable fall weather, a much larger acreage of land was prepared than usual, and partly for the same reason and the prospects of high prices for all kinds of grain, farmers took more pains in the preparation of land, so that the spring opened up with 1,235.000 acres cf fully prepared land above the previous year. Seeding was general by the 7th of April, some days in advance of the average. Since that time the woathsr has teen exceptionally favorable for the sowing of wheat, and the farmers have taken full advantage of tt Much of the crop is now above the turface. There has been a very general and liberal rainfall; this will

hasten the germination of the recently sown wheat, and will prevent the soil from drifting off tho later sown crop. The area sown in wheat is fully 15 per cent greater than last year. To sum up the agricultural situation generally, the Department of Agriculture says: "The area is larger than usual, the land has been well prepared, and the wheat has been sown at the right time; not so early as to run the risk of being killed off by frost, but sufficiently early to insure its ripening in the fall."

Wrong Diagnosis. One of the promient clubs of this city gave a contract for the decoration of their building in honor of the visit of the fleet, and the decorator conceived the idea that the word "welcome" spelled out in signal flags would be an appropriate and beautiful design for the front wall, over the entrance. He asked a naval officer for directions, and, following the code which said officer wrote out for him, a very interesting result was obtained. Judge of the surprise of the contractor when an army officer, happening by, asked: "Do you know what you have written?" "Why, welcome," stammered the decorator. "Not by a long shot!" said the army officer. "You have up there, 'To h with the army.' "Life.

GLASS AS BUILDING MATERIAL

Architects in Increasing Number Are Favoring Structures Composed of Transparent Colors.

The Puritan Fallacy. A modern young poet named Conrad Aiken is versifying; about a steamer trip on Long Island sound, and he finds the night full of "Beauty so keen it seemed it must have sinned " It is odd to encounter at this late day so perfect an expression of the great Puritan fallacy, the notion that loveliness and sensitiveness are more apt to be wrong, and somberness and hardness right; that joy in life is closely allied to Avickedness, and that a sad spirit is .almost necessarily righteous. This doctrine is part of the once general creed that life on this earth is less a spiritual experience than the carrying out of a hard technical contract and that creed is wrong. The New England frame of mind has contributed some great qualities to our national character, but has failed to see clearly that the beauty of the earth is anything more than a temptation to the human soul. This failure has had the most serous consequences in discrediting religious faith and in imposing hypocrisy upon morals. It is part of the real business of our day to shake oft these dusts of doctrine and to see this world for what it is, a home for the heart and soul of man, "serviceable for the life that now

They should be made of pleasing color tints and be impervious to the weather. They can be worked in between pilasters, domes and friezes. Set under the veranda this glass should have a smooth upper side with prisms on the lower face that would direct plenty of light into the rooms.
